Mehmet on Blackburn draw and impact of Timber

Related Topics: Blackburn

Mehmet Ali believed his side had the chances to secure a win in the second half following our 2-2 draw with Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park on Monday night.

Despite taking a two-goal lead in the first half-hour through goals from Jurrien Timber and Amario Cozier-Duberry, Blackburn's quick-fire goals just before the break saw them snatch a point, leaving us unable to claim victory.

Mehmet said “I felt like we started the game very well, we were aggressive and on the front foot. We had a lot of the ball, got into good areas and were rewarded.
